What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Aortic remodeling after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for complicated type B aortic dissection remains insufficiently characterized, particularly when the Provisional ExTension To Induce COmplete ATtachment (PETTICOAT) technique is applied. This study evaluated early geometric remodeling of the true and false lumens and the whole aorta following TEVAR with PETTICOAT using patient-specific computational modeling. Methods: A single-center retrospective review of 20 patients (16 men; age, 65 ± 11 years; nine acute, seven subacute, and four chronic) with type B aortic dissection treated with TEVAR and PETTICOAT was performed. Pre- and postintervention computed tomography angiography was used to extract centerlines and cross-sectional measurements along the entire aorta. Patient-specific computational simulations quantified changes in aortic arclength, curvature, cross-sectional area, and circumference across the ascending aorta, arch, descending thoracic aorta, and abdominal aorta. Remodeling was assessed by comparing geometric parameters from preoperative and the first available postoperative computed tomography angiography (mean interval from surgery, 82 ± 305 days; median, 14 days). Results: In the first 30 days, one patient died, and the rest were free from reintervention. False lumen thrombosis was documented in 10 patients (50%) during early (<30 day) imaging and in 14 patients (70%) within 24-month surveillance. TEVAR with PETTICOAT produced significant true lumen expansion, including reduced curvature in the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta ( Conclusions: TEVAR with the PETTICOAT technique results in measurable geometric remodeling in the first 30 days, most pronounced within the true lumen across thoracic and abdominal segments. Whole aorta and false lumen changes were limited, suggesting a preferential true lumen response to intervention.
